president, susan rice -- >> thank you so much. >> susan rice is extraordinary. couldn't be prouder of the job she has done at the u.n. [ applause ] >>> that was the end of the press coverage of the president's first cabinet meeting extended right there. first cabinet meeting since the election. that shot that you see of the president flanked by his defense secretary, leon panetta, and his secretary of state, hillary clinton, that is a reminder of how strange it is that cabinet jobs are sort of expected to all turn over when a president earns a secretary term. big picture. if you are a great secretary of transportation you are doing a fine job running the agriculture department for the nation, why should you leave that job when the president who picked you for that job just got reelected to stay in his job for another four years? it's weird, right, the turnover for the second term. occasionally, people do stay on for a second term or part of a second term. mostly, because either they are tired or because it is tradition. cabinet secretaries move on and frankly, p

ambassador susan rice would not have been one of them. she is from the perspective of main stream american foreign policy one of the least controversial figures in this administration. rice was a scholar at 28 years old. she joined bill clinton's security council and became the youngest ever assistant secretary of state. and in january of 2009, she was unanimously confirmed by the senate as a united states ambassador to the united nations. during her almost four years on the job, she's earned bipartisan praise for pursuing u.s. interests. "new york times" reports that white house aides say she's favored by president obama to replace hillary clinton as secretary of state. but rice's record doing her job doesn't seem to matter much to senator john mccain. what matters is that rice went on television in the days after the attack in libya that killed the ambassador and three other americans and repeated the information the cia provided at the time. >> susan rice should have known better, and if she didn't know better, she's not qualified. she
